May have been because the club made it be known his salary would go up by a large amount. As for Hughes I'd be surprised if this deal happens.
May have been because the club made it be known his salary would go up by a large amount. As for Hughes I'd be surprised if this deal happens.I know of another player the same. Very good player who spent most of his career at Swansea. Had a few offers over the years but was very happy at Swansea until Lampard let him know he would like to sign him. He then didn't play again until the transfer was completed.
Which is what the idea is.Really don't think doubling our transfer record on a CB is worth it
We'd have to get promoted to justify it.
He was already on a good wage. One of the reasons he was happy at Swansea. We wouldn't have broken our wage structure for him.May have been because the club made it be known his salary would go up by a large amount. As for Hughes I'd be surprised if this deal happens.
21 years old and club captain at his last 2 clubs.Well that’s the thing for me. He’s not “clearly” going to get better. Hopefully he will, but it’s certainly not clear cut!
It would be for me if we don't bring a central defender in because the back ups are Lati( no idea when he will be fit) andHe was already on a good wage. One of the reasons he was happy at Swansea. We wouldn't have broken our wage structure for him.
Any Hughes deal could go either way. They're in financial difficulties after taking a big gamble mid season to get promoted and failing miserably. They need both the player and the money. On an educated guess I would say he will play the last game for them this weekend then a deal will be done if we've offered enough....unless Woolfenden is prised from Ipswich before then.
The biggest surprise for me would be if we didn't bring in at least a CB by Monday evening.

Transfer fees seem to have shot up again right across European leagues especially.Sounds to me like we had committed to spending on Woolfeden & Goddo. Strasbourg have offered silly money so we have decided to go all in for Hughes. I think we end up with Hughes & a prem loan for the forward, we’re at that point in the window where clubs will consider loans for players they wanted to sell - e.g. Sarmiento at Brighton
Seems like perhaps a 3 rd bid of £10 million has been turned down.Sounds to me like we had committed to spending on Woolfeden & Goddo.

Be happy with thatTHink we will get 1 and MVE wont leave
Makes the KHH deal look good value for moneyTransfer fees seem to have shot up again right across European leagues especially.
We will add in Brad Collins.
Both very clever and original humour. Hard to find.Give Hull a choice.
£12 million plus £3 million in add-ons or £25 million plus Collins.
Don't think Swansea were under a transfer embargo ,so why sell your best defender when all you can bring in is free transfers.Hull fans thinking this isn't going to happen seem to be completely unaware of the trajectories of both clubs atm.
Time to put these in their place like we did with the Swansea lot still seething about Grimes.
If it happens I’m interested to see how Lampard manages having 3 strong CBs for 2 places, but it’s a good problem to haveHull fans thinking this isn't going to happen seem to be completely unaware of the trajectories of both clubs atm.

Funny people on here seem to know the inner workings of Hull yet the club keep bidding.Don't think Swansea were under a transfer embargo ,so why sell your best defender when all you can bring in is free transfers.
Hughes starts doesn't he. Can play either side so he plays with whoever is performing better at the time I suppose.If it happens I’m interested to see how Lampard manages having 3 strong CBs for 2 places, but it’s a good problem to have

I think he’s going to go Kitching and Hughes. Lampard trusts and seems to really like KitchingIt’ll be Hughes and Thomas I’d expect.

It's not as though Hull can spend the cash to strengthen their squad. So I'd be very surprised if this happens.If it happens I’m interested to see how Lampard manages having 3 strong CBs for 2 places, but it’s a good problem to have
Kitching has been captain for all the league games this season. Suggests he has leadership qualities that are admired within the club.
We know all too well that being late in the window doesn’t stop players going. Money talks and if we offer enough he’s gone.It's not as though Hull can spend the cash to strengthen their squad. So I'd be very surprised if this happens.
Thomas has never been dropped while at the club. It’ll be Kitching.
Yep. And key IF CH starts making noises then it happens, players hold power ultimatelyWe know all too well that being late in the window doesn’t stop players going. Money talks and if we offer enough he’s gone.
No player should expect to get into a good side that's flying especially just after moving to the club. Then it's down to who is playing the best and who is most suited to the opponents.If it happens I’m interested to see how Lampard manages having 3 strong CBs for 2 places, but it’s a good problem to have
What even if we keep shipping poor goals when winning ??Until we lose in the league I wouldn't drop Kitching or Thomas
